CR 2778 went up in flames in September 1989. Here is the view of the fireman's side.

GE's have a penchant for catching on fire. Living up that, 2778, originally Lehigh Valley 502, went up in flames in September 1989 in Reading, PA. I arrived shortly after the fire was out. Last I knew 2778 was sold to Wimpey Minerals and located in New Jersey no longer used.
